Meanwhile, the newspaper Kairoi (Τhe Times, 3 September 1948) paid tribute to all 'true Greek women', of all ages and classes, who served the 'fatherland' in a myriad ways against the 'Slavs', writing that '... they sense the patriotic duty of Greek women and they tremble with the same heartbeat which propelled the souls of other great women of the Greek Race, from Telesilla to Bouboulina and Mado Mavroyenous'.

Bouboulina and Mado reappeared during this important nation-building episode alongside the gun-toting partisan woman as Enlightenment figures, which underscored the Resistance movement's overarching ambition to restructure national political culture according to modern European standards of political participation.

They also participated in EPON's cultural activities, which included staging plays which re-enacted 1821 ... and actively promoted the beautiful idea of social equality, the uprising of women against the Germans, for the liberation of the nation, just like Bouboulina and Mado Mavroyeni had done before them.
